With the spread of electric vehicles in recent years, the supply chain of Lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) has become a very important issue. The rapid rise in demand for electric vehicles also introduces some supply chain problems in LIBs. In this chapter, the current and future problems in LIB supply chain processes are addressed.
As the global growth of electric vehicles (EVs) continues, the demand for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) is increasing. In 2021, 9% of car sales was EVs, and the number increases up to 109% from 2020 (Canalys, 2022 ).
That same month, the Federal Consortium for Advanced Batteries (FCAB), a coll‐ aboration of several federal agencies with a stake in lithium batteries, published its National Blueprint for Lithium Batteries, outlining a national strategy for developing a robust and sustainable lithium battery supply chain.
By comparison, China-based companies capture 90% of the economic value of each lithium battery cell consumed in China. The United States relies (and, without intervention, will continue to rely) on a global lithium battery supply chain that is highly vulnerable to disruption, as seen in Figure 1. Two issues account for this vulnerability.
The UK too is seeking to onshore global production networks for lithium-ion batteries (LiB) and build a domestic battery supply chain. The UK case is instructive as the geopolitical dynamics of onshoring centre on maintaining the UK's role as an automobile manufacturing platform in the post-Brexit period rather than a general ‘global race’.
A Diagram of a Lithium-ion battery supply chain Cells are necessary for the manufacture of batteries. These cells are then shipped for assembly by different transportation modes or maintained in inventory. After cells are assembled, the produced batteries are installed in EVs – or other products such as phones, and appliances.
